My first haircut

The other day I went to the hairdresser and asked her when Ella should have her first haircut. She replied right now and less than 30 seconds later had a pair of scissors in her hand, grabbed another client to catch the hair and had done the first snip. I think she must have know it wasn't a good idea to give me time to consider. Her hair is looking much tidier though now and I even put a clip in it sometimes. Rob's mum had kept some hair from his first haircut and on comparing the two, there wasn't much difference.

Weekend away

Rob and I recently had a weekend away for my 30th birthday. It was the first time we had left Ella for more than about 12 hours and we actually left her with Mum and Dad for over 2 days. Everyone survived though. We stayed at a really nice place called Scenic Rim Cottages which is out past Willowbank Raceway. The views from our cottage were beautiful and even had us considering buying a block of land out bush somewhere.

Bike seat

We recently bought Ella a bike seat - to go on the back of Rob's bike. She loves to go riding with Rob in the afternoon in the park as there are lots of great things to look at - dogs, ducks, horses, dogs, dogs (did I mentions dogs??). I have even ventured out on my bike a couple of times.

How not to get into a pram

Ella thought she was very clever for climbing into the pram, until it got a little bit difficult turning around. Yes, they are Rob's boxer shorts around her neck. Usually it's a pair of my togs...

Reading with daddy

Ella's car

Ella loves being dragged around on the floor really fast by Uncle Mark in her little car. She got very upset when one of the sides ripped though.

SILLY!!

These are typical photos at the moment. Very lucky if you can score one with a nice smile. Ella also loves to put things on her head.

Trying a lemon

We got some funny looks after giving Ella the lemon, but contrary to the funny faces she actually quite enjoyed it (and the fish and chips as well).

Updating blog

As has been commented on quite a few times recently, I haven't updated the blog for a long time. This afternoon I am going to try and update. Will depend on how long Ella stays asleep.....
